be reached on a bill similar in its princi-

Innocent Indians.

DENVER, Feb. l0.-The Ners' AL
buquerque special says: Further particu'
lars from Mondays bloody tragedy on
the Navajo reservation, in which three
white men and two Indians were killed,
state everything is as quiet as usual.
Reports show the Indians are not as
much to blame as the white men, who
made the attack. They should have made
their grievances to the Indian agent, in
stead of taking the law in their own
hands. The two men who accompanied
the deputy to make the arrest of the ac-
cused horse thief, were bitterly hated by
the Indians fer very good reason. and
they were not slow in taking advantage of
the situation. The Navajos are imposed
upon by this class of men, and it may yet
be the cause OF this powerful tribe taking
the warpath.

alone will amount to about $4,000. The
number OF those who will be thrown out
by the strike will run far into the thou
sands. No exact general estimate can be
formed at present. but it is certain that if
they do quit the majority Of the big fac
tories will have to close down. Forty
nine claims that on the strength of assur-
ances that arrangements were being made
for arbitration of the coal troubles. it
rested on its oars and lost some ground.
Now it intends to regain that ground and
get some more. Members of 49's execu-
tive hoard say they have positive infor-
are pressed for loans on national banks,
and they believe that with the arrange
ments they are making in connection with
the employees of breweries and the engin-
GERS, the demand for coal will grow so
limited that the coal companies will be
glad to come to terms. The ostensible
reason for these strikes is that the brew
cries and other manufactures are using
scab coal.
To a reporter a high official Of 40 said
this afternoon: You can say that all the
stories that the strike was on the point of
.disrupting and coming to an end have
been made through misunderstanding or
manufactured out of whole cloth. Dis
trict 40 had simply ceased from pushing
matters further in an idea that the coal
companies were about to have all differ
ences settled by arbitration. We have
been undeceived on that point, and now
We intend to renew the battle with a
vengeance. Nor will the extension of the
strike stop with the measures to be car-
ried out tomorrow. If necessary, we
shall call out men in other lines. District
40 is now determined to fight the battle
to the bitter end, and instead of meeting
with defeat, we are more than ever conf
dent of achieving success"

District Assembly No. 40, and Victor

are to confer with District Assembly No.

that the brewers of this city and vicinity
would go out on strike tomorrow FRI

sued. Members of the executive board,
however, said the number 100000 had

gineers will also go out, for they will not

CONGRESSIONAL


WASHINGTON. Feb. l0.-Mr. Dolph,
from the conference committee on the
senate amendments to the house bill to
repeal all pre- emption. timber culture and
desert land laws, reported a disagreement
and asked for a new conference. He said,
in answer to a question by Mr.. Ingalls,,
that the differences in the conference
committee had been quite radical, but
that they might be overcome; the most
important point was whether, when there
was suspicion of fraudulent entry, the
case should be finally decided by the in
terror department or by the courts. The
house conferees took the ground that the
interior department should be sole and
final judge in the matter, whereas the
senate conferees insisted that the man
whose title was attacked in the land
Office should have the right of appeal to
the courts.
Mr.. Plumb said he had been tor many
years in favor OF the repeal of the pre-
emption laws. but since the subject had
been under discussion, a practice had
come into vogue OF a character which was
not only threatening to individual rights,
but was subversive of all proper rules of
procedure, and he thought that the rec
LITIGATION Of this practice was of more i'm
portance thar the repeal of pre-emption
laws or timber culture laws. or both. He
referred to the proceedings by special
agents, detectives, by private inquiiis,
under which titles were assumed to be set
aside, or by ex-parte hearings. This was
going on to an extent that was paralyzing
business in certain sections of the West.
He regarded the longer continuance of
this system as a shame and disgrace.
Titles to land under these presumption
laws should be settled in the courts,
whether they were titles of the poor and
humble on the frontier or of the rich any
where else.
Mr.. Call defended the administration of
the land Office, and said if it was such as
was represented by the senator from Kan
sas, the proper remedy was to have an in
quiry instituted and impeachment pro-
ceedings commenced. After further dis
another conference was ordered.
On motion of Mr.. Sewell the house bill
to provide for the location and erection of
a branch home tor disabled volunteer

and amended by the adoption of a sub.

pointing Jas. A. Waymire, of San Fran
cisco, TO serve as manager up to April,

Tie Case Against DR.. Seymour B
Young Dismissed.

The charge of unlawful cohabitation
against DR.. Seymour B. Young dropped
suddenly out OF sight yesterday.
LeGrand Young and Assistant Pros
ecuting Attorney Zane appeared before
Commissioner Mckay at about 1C
o'clock. Mr.. Zane briefly announced
that they could not secure the attend
ance of the necessary witnesses, and
the prosecution had not the necessary
witnesses to secure a conviction. He
therefore moved that the case be dis
missed, and the motion was granted.
The complaint is dated nearly year
ago, and charges that defendant COM
mitted unlawful cohabitation by living
with and acknowledging Elizabeth
Young and AbbIe G. Wells as his wives,
between the dates of July L, 1888, and
June l, 1886.
Mr.. Dickson, under whose regime the
complaint against DR. Young had been
made out, was present yesterday; he
said to HERALD reporter that the rea-
sons the case was not pushed were that
when the complaint was made out the
first wife was eligible to testify, and
now she was not; the second wife ana
her mother were now both absent, and
at that time the mothers evidence was
obtainable.
